The man also stood up in an instant, his face showing no signs of mockery. Instead, it was full of sympathy. “Miss Zhang Yue, hello.”
“Who are you?” Zhang Yue looked at him warily, then turned to her mother.
Cao Hui also stood up, nervously at a loss. “Yueyue, this person stopped me outside, saying he wants to help you. I invited him in to ask how he can help.”
“No need.” Zhang Yue coldly moved to close the door.
The man took a step forward, proactively handing over his business card. “Miss Zhang Yue, let me introduce myself. I’m lawyer Song Yan. After hearing about your case this morning, I really wanted to help you get out of trouble. So, I came without an invitation, found your address, and wanted to meet you.”
Zhang Yue was about to skeptically take the business card.
Cao Hui, however, excitedly held the card and examined it, “Are you really a lawyer?”
“Yes.” Song Yan still wore a courteous and standard smile.
Cao Hui was overjoyed, shaking her daughter’s arm incessantly. “Great! With the help of a lawyer, we’ll definitely catch the bad guy faster!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue’s eyes flickered slightly. She finally looked at the man seriously, saying word by word, “Are you really willing to help me? We don’t have much money to give you.”
“I don’t need your money. This is just my personal goodwill towards you.” Song Yan pointed to the sofa. “Can we sit down and talk?”
“Sure! Very convenient! Please have a seat!” Cao Hui couldn’t be more excited. She had just sat on the sofa when she suddenly bounced up again. “Look at me, it’s this late already. Lawyer Song, you must not have had dinner yet, right? Wait, I’ll make it for you!”
“No need to bother; let’s discuss the case first.” Song Yan suggested, trying to make Cao Hui sit down first. Just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion from the direction of the door.
Soon after, Zhang Tan walked in unsteadily, carrying a liquor bottle.
When he saw a stranger in the house, that inexplicable anger surged up again. He roared, “Cao Hui! You’ve got some nerve, actually daring to cuckold me and bringing a man home! Oh, you’re dressed so nicely. Just look how I skin you alive today!”
With that, Zhang Tan rolled up his sleeves, ready to come over and teach Song Yan a lesson.
Cao Hui was afraid that if Zhang Tan beat the man, they wouldn’t get free help for her daughter. She quickly rushed forward, holding his arm. “Old Zhang, it’s not what you think. He’s a lawyer! He came to help our Yueyue!”
“A lawyer?” Zhang Tan squinted his not-so-sober eyes, pushed Cao Hui away, and staggered towards the man. “Are you a lawyer?”
“Yes, Mr. Zhang.” Song Yan handed over another business card.
Zhang Tan took a glance and threw it on the ground. “Don’t need a lawyer. I’ve said long ago not to report the case! Look now, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. I can’t go out without people pointing fingers at me! It’s all because of these two women! Get out of my house!”
“Old Zhang! What are you doing!” Cao Hui quickly picked up the business card, apologizing to Song Yan cautiously.
Song Yan shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind. He said, “Mr. Zhang, I understand why you resist talking about this case. But please calm down and listen to what I have to say. I believe my proposal will satisfy you.”
Zhang Tan thought for a moment, sat down on the sofa, holding the bottle threateningly, and pointed at the well-dressed man opposite. “Speak, if what you say can’t satisfy me, I’ll kick you out today! What kind of crap lawyer!”
“Mr. Zhang!” Cao Hui w^as afraid that Song Yan would get angry, quickly inviting him to sit down again.
Fortunately, Song Yan had been indifferent all along.
He pushed his glasses, smiled, and said, “I know your biggest trouble now is that this case has seriously affected your daily life. So, 1 came up with a solution that can help you get rid of the current shadow.”
At these words, the three people in the living room raised their eyes, full of hope.
Song Yan w^as very satisfied with their reactions, slowly saying, “Actually, before 1 came here, 1 conducted a detailed investigation. I found out that last night, before your daughter, Miss Zhang Yue, had an incident, her other classmate, Wen Miao, w^as also blocked by several men in an alley and returned home half an hour later.”
Hearing this, Zhang Tan suddenly remembered the dirty appearance of Wen Miao when she came to their house yesterday, unable to believe, “Could it be that the daughter of the old Wen family was also…”
Zhang Yue widened her eyes in shock, trembling all over.
Song Yan shook his head, “No, it seems they just threatened Wen Miao a bit, gave her a lesson, and then let her go. But this can be an opportunity to help you.”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Tan asked with concentration.
Song Yan smirked, revealing a sly smile. “In fact, you can push everything onto Wen Miao. Say that she is the female victim, and Zhang Yue just sympathized with her, reporting the incident on her behalf..”
